POLLO CAMPERO LAUNCHES 2ND ANNUAL COLLECTIBLE CUP BENEFITING ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL®

Limited-edition cup features St. Jude patient artwork

DALLAS, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After raising nearly $50,000 from its first St. Jude collectible Care Cup in 2021, Pollo Campero has launched its second annual collectible Care Cup fundraiser in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children^®.

The 32-ounce cups, featuring artwork by St. Jude patients, will be available online at Campero.com, through the Pollo Campero app and at select Pollo Campero locations. The $5 cost includes the guest's choice of a fountain soda, with $3 of each cup sale going to support St. Jude kids. In addition, guests can donate directly to St. Jude on the Pollo Campero website and app.

"Our guests were so enthusiastic and generous with our St. Jude Care Cups fundraiser last year that it was important for us to share the inspiring artwork from St. Jude patients again this year," said Pollo Campero Director of Marketing Mark Priestland. "This year, we've made it possible to take it a step further by giving guests the chance to donate directly to St. Jude on our website and the Pollo Campero app."

"Last year's St. Jude Care Cup fundraiser accomplished so much, both in terms of money donated and awareness raised about our lifesaving mission," said Steve Froehlich, Chief Revenue Officer of ALSAC, the fundraising awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "We know that marking Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with ongoing partners like Pollo Campero and their guests allows us to support even more children as they battle cancer."

Pollo Campero has supported St. Jude and the fight against childhood cancer for five years, raising over $200,000 to date.
